how many hours of sunlight a day to increase temperature 10 degrees?
Reply
Larry, Temperature gain is dependent on the number of hours of sunshine in the middle of the day and the ambient air temperature. So an average of 6-8hrs is needed per day depending on your locating.

What is the diameter of the in/outlet fittings? What is the GPM flow rating?

The Eco Saver comes with adapters to use either 1-1/2" or 1-1/4" plumbing. The optimum flow rate is 4 to 8 gallons per minute per panel.

If i mount this on my roof will I have to take it down when I close my pool up for the winter ?

Hi, Andy. You don't have to take down the panel(s), but you will have to follow the Winterizing procedures which are listed on page 9 of the EcoSaver Solar Panels 20' Owners Manual.

Im thinking of getting this solar kit to mount on my roof, other than the mounting kit do I need any other accessories for it or is everything included?

Good afternoon, if this would be for an inground pool then the kit and roof kit is all that is needed. If you have a above ground pool you would need Eco Saver Diverter Kit (1 Kit for pools up to 24' round) - ESDK-1.

Application: Location: Phoenix, AZ, Pool: 14x32 in-ground, 3.5x5x4 depth. Looks like (2) 20' would be appropriate. NO SHADING.
Question: I run my pump after dark, which rules out the clever use of using the pool's circulating pump. I'd need a separate pump on a timer, and then take advantage of as much (high-in-the-sky) sun as possible. Do you have such a system pre-engineered? Is there a thermostatically-controlled set-up?
These are flexible "mats"? What's the wt. of one full?

Hi, Mark. You can use one of these Solar Control Systems which will control your pump and water flow through the panels when needed.
